loosing again of that arch-enemy, and the war with Gog and Magog, these parts are all explained as referring to more distant events, which are to precede the resurrection, the judgment, and the final blessedness of the redeemed. It is admitted that the first and second visions may be regarded as symbolical of the fall of Anti-christian powers, subsequent to the fall of pagan Rome; but it is maintained that the first Chris

tians understood these visions as referring primarily to Jerusalem and to the power of the Cæsars, and that such was the meaning of the Divine Spirit. Papal Rome, accordingly, is not an object of special reference in the Apocalypse.

Mr. Stuart has published this exposition with the manifest expectation that in not a few quarters it will prove startling and unwelcome. And, certainly, this is not the view taken of the Apocalyptic visions by the majority of expositors in America or in England. During several generations the stream of interpretation has flowed in as Roscoe, Esq. Vol. I. comprising Wil

port of the book being to depict in perspective

But Mr. Stuart's theory, though it is not this one,
is by no means a novelty. The substance of it
may be seen in an extended and elaborate article

on the Revelation' in Kitto's Cyclopedia, from the pen of Dr. Davidson. But it was not left to Dr. Davidson, any more than to Mr. Stuart, to be a discoverer on this ground, the same views in substance having been broached long before by Grotius, Hammond, Le Clerc, and others, as may be seen in Mr. Stuart's own Historical Sketch of the Exegesis of the Apocalypse.'

Coleridge, speaking, in his Aids to Reflection, of Bunyan's Hero, has wisely said, 'The fears, the hopes, the remembrances, the anticipations, the inward and outward experience, the belief and faith of a Christian, form of themselves a philosophy and a sum of knowledge, which a life spent in the grove of Academus or the painted Porch could not have attained or collected.' But most of the who have attempted to com

Dr. Cheever possesses more of the qualifications
necessary to this delicate office than any of his
predecessors. He has knowledge, imagination, der Anglicanischen Kirche, ihren ver schei-

sensibility, piety, and sagacity; and has produced a book not unworthy of its subject. This is saying very much. These lectures have attracted much attention in the United States; we shall be happy to see them become no less popular in
